This one-time class introduces students to this great classic and to the ways we will enjoy and appreciate it together in my eight-week course on the novel.

Class experience

To begin to understand the novel, and particularly its heroes, the four Pevensie children.
I have three university degrees in literature - that's why I get to call myself 'Dr' Radice. I've also taught literature for more than thirteen years in schools, to classes ranging from age nine to eighteen.

Students are provided with a sample of my guide to the text, which includes extracts, writing activities and quiz questions. If they wish to read the first two chapters before class, they will also need to purchase a copy of the text itself. Other than this, they only need pen and paper.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
There are some frightening and violent scenes in the novel as a whole (although not in the passage on which we focus in this taster lesson). The children's lives are threatened on several occasions. There is a scene where Peter fights and slays a wolf who is trying to kill his sisters. Aslan's death on the Stone Table, surrounded by evil creatures, is a particularly frightening moment. There is a battle scene at the end. However, there is no detailed or gory description of the violence, as the novel is intended for young readers.

Note that, as with most classic literature, this text has a religious dimension, which needs to be explained as cultural context for the novel to be understood properly, just as it would be if one were studying Dickens or Shakespeare.
